Cold as Ice

Today was a cold and wet day. At one of my (many) sister's school, they had a snow day event. A nice winter festival of arts and crafts, some carnival games, and a tented area in which they brought in snow. YAY! It was raining all day so this made for a very fun, wet, and cold adventure.

Although I had been planning to go to this event for at least two weeks, I still forgot to pack some gloves for him, so his hands got super cold super fast. Big surprise there. Thankfully, I did remember the warm change of clothes for when he got wet.

One thing I realized today... him and I both need to get some rain friendly shoes. Chucks don't cut it for either of us. Oh, and ALWAYS bring gloves to the snow!! Even if it didn't fall from the sky.

The Mundane Adventures for This Week

Last Monday, after spending time at a friends house, we came home and found out my son had a high fever. Nothing really developed of it and he woke up just fine the next day. I think he was just the fancy little carrier boy and passed the virus on to me. Friday night I started to get stuffy headed. Saturday, full blown cold. Sunday still kinda sick but mainly just recovery.

Since I haven't been out much this week due to the sicknesses, I had planned to go out for a nice long walk today with my son and enjoy the outdoor air. But mother nature had another plan for us. It's been raining all day long.

We were still going to get out of the house just a little bit, since we needed to go grocery shopping. Somehow, something got left on in the van I guess. When we all piled in, we found the van would not start thanks to a dead battery. Mostly dead anyway (who else thinks of The Princess Bride??). None of the AAA numbers worked, YAY for roadside assitance (sarcasm), but I put in a request online. Thank goodness we were stuck while at home.

Now I am waiting for the battery aid, starving like a pregnant woman, hoping the rain doesn't pick back up when it comes time to go. Perhaps I should have checked my horroscope today, it probably says, "This is a good day to stay home". But would I have listened?? Chances are slim.

A Pregnant Night

My Husband had to be to work by midnight last night, and I usually stay up until that time. Since he left before midnight I decided to watch a little TV to make me tired and fall asleep. We had eaten dinner at about 5pm so I was feeling the starvation coming on. I thought maybe I could just ignore it away with sleep. I was wrong.

I kept flipping channels even though I was planning to fall asleep, and that's when I found "Whose line is it Anyway?". Well, it happens to be my favorite show which I haven't seen on the air for quite a while, so I started watching. I rolled over an hour later to finally go to sleep (as an informercial about back fat came on). The starvation was getting worse and I tried to fall asleep anyway. That's just when craving teamed up with starvation and ambushed me.

So there I sat, eating a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch cereal, watching TV, at 1 am!
